THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA., JUNE 17. 1871). A Merited Disappointment. ' ' " " TIMS train from Paris to Lyons stop ped at the station of Jolgny, a town upon the route, and after leaving a few passengers again went on. The station, for a ' moment crowded with railway porters and lookers on, was soon de serted by all but two Individuals. One of them was an old man dressed In the garb of a well-to-do farmer; the other a youth about five and twenty, who seem ed to be waiting for some one to come out and meet blni. To this person the old man presently addressed himself. " May I presume, sir," said he, " to inquire If you are Clement D ?" "Yes, my good man," replied the youth, with a haughtiness of manner ; "and I have no doubt you are Mr. Martin." " At your service, sir," replied the other. " Well, Mr. Martin," continued Clement, in the same tone, "I began to imagine you Intended to keep me waiting. That would not have been the . best manner in which to insinuate your self into my good graces." The old man, instead of replying, let hi9 head fall upon his breast, as if in deep affliction, and conducted the new comer toward a large old fashioned car riage, to which a very rough-looking horse was harnessed. "Here Is your carriage, sir," said Martin. " If you will be good enough to get in, I will have the honor of con ducting you to the Hermitage." " That my carriage, Bir V" cried Clem ent. " Why, I shall be taken for a traveling peddler. But a few days before, Mr. Clement B., who now put on so many flue airs, was a simple clerk in a crockery ware house in Paris, and possessed the repu tation of being a quiet, unpretending little fellow. What, then, had brought ubout this sudden and radical transfor mation f He had become, since the previous day, a rich man, and it may be well understood that the possessor of an income of twenty thousand francs a year finds it difficult to retain the modest demeanor of a poor clerk. On the previous day, while dusting the large piles of crockery under his charge, a letter arrived for him by the post, con veying to him the startling intelligence that one of ids uncles, of whom he had often heard as an eccentric and wealthy old man, but whom he had never seen, had just died at his residence in Bur gundy, leaving his nephew, Clement, sole heir to his estates, to the exclusion of many other heirs. The letter was from a notary in the province, who desired him to leave Paris immediately for Joigny, the town near which this uncle had resided, where he would be met by Mr. Martin, an old confidential servant of the deceased, and conducted from the railroad to the " Hermitage," the name which the de ceased had given to the estate. Almost driven out of his senses by such an unexpected stroke of fortune, Clement hastened to obey the notary's directions, and, on his arrival at Joigny, joined Martin, as we have seen. On jolted the queer vehicle in which our hero had so contemptuously taken a place, until, after a ride of several miles, the occupants arrived at their destination. Martin offered the honors of the Hermitage to the new proprietor, called all the servants and Introduced them to their future master,' and then conducted the latter to his own apartments. " This was the sleeplng-Aamber of your uncle," said Martin, as they en. tered a large apartment, furnished in old-fashioned style. "It was in this room that he had died, ten days ago." But the nephew, instead of evincing any emotion upon being shown the chamer of his benefactor, threw upon all around him a look of scorn and cried : " Upon my word I can't say I think much of the old boy's taste 1 I never . saw anytning so very.ugly in all my life." " Notwithstanding, sir," replied Mar- tiu, " it is the best we have here; and, if you cannot content yourself, I really don't know where you will find other lodgings." " I live here !" exclaimed the young man. " You do not imagine I am such a donkey, I hope ! For us young fel lows, you see, Paris is the only place so I shall sell this old crazy rookery at once, and then be off." "Sell the Hermitage 1" exclaimed Martin, "your uncle's favorite place of residence. 'Impossible! And we ser vants, who hoped to end our days under this roof, what is to become of usV" " Mr. Martin," retorted the young man, " let me have none of your com. plaints, I beg. Get me some dinner, and afterwards you will drive mo to the notary's." After having eaten a hearty meal notwithstanding be found the meats nslpld and the wines sour, the legatee, still accompanied by Martin, re-entered the carriage, and the two started off. If I am not mistaken," observed Mr. Clement after an hour's ride, " we assed this spot this morning ; and that," pointing to a building, " Is the railroad station. Do we take the train there V" " You alone will do so," reponded his companion, speaking very gravely, and in a manner which caused the young man to tremble in spite of him self. " I sir, am your uncle, and happi ly I am not dead I Having heard good accouuts of your conduct I had resolved to make you heir of all I possess ; but before doing so, I wished to ascertain if you were really deserving of my gener osity, and I had recourse to stratagem, which has thoroughly exposed your true character to me. Good bye, Mr. Clement; return to your business, and remember that your arrogance and In gratitude have lost that which will nev er again be placed within your reach," The old man then gave his foolish nephew suffi clent to ideinnify him for the expenses of his trip, took leave of him at the station, and returned home. The feelings of the young man may be Imagined, but, as the yellow-colored novels say, i they cannot be describ ed." This is a true story, and an apt illus tration of the maxim, " Never hallo un til you are out of the wood." Chicago Outlaws. A .Chicago exchange says: Four masked burglars made a descent upon a grocery store on the corner of Archer and Western avenues, on Friday morn- ng, and made a haul which paid them well for fifteen minutes' work. Their blunder consisted of about $450 in mon ey. They got, besides this, $j3 worth ot postage stamps, a silver watch, a revol ver, and a small locket. The burglary was evidently planned very carefully beforehand, the premises had been made familiar, and the perpetrators were so well prepared that there was no balk in the job. John and Matthew Larney keep a grocery Btore at the place mimed and sleep in an adjoining room. About 2.30 o,clock in the morning they awoke to find themselves covered by four cock ed revolvers. They endeavored to rise to make re sistance, but were admonished to lie still with a belt or two over the head with a bar of iron. The gang hand cuffed them together, and, tearing up the sheet, bound and gagged them and went through the safe in the most deliberate manner, taking the things mentioned, and showing a thorough acquaintance with the lay of things. The work done, the gags were taken otF and the men left. The brothers undid the bandages with which they were tied, and hunted up a night watchman, who broke the chain of the handcuffs with which they were fastened together. They then drove to the Deerlng station and reported the facts, and thence to a blacksmith shop, where the handcuffs were removed with a cold chisel. There is no certain clue to the perpetrators, who were closely masked. Another Religious Fanatic The Wilmington " Every Evening" has hunted up a parallel to the Pocasset tragedy. Gillie Hitchens, now living between Concord and Laurel, in Sussex county, one day in February, 1857, cut his child's throat, because " the voice of the Lord has commanded him to offer him as a sacrifice, and no voice said, Stay thy hand.' " Gillie was a farmer, a blue-ey.ed, sanuy-naired man, wno read the Bible a great deal. He had at tended a Methodist protracted meeting the night before the tragedy. When he reached home his wife observed that he was laboring under great excitement. During the night "the voice of God commanded that he should kill his dearly-beloved little son and offer his blood as a sacrifice." In the morning he went to the woods and once more heard the command. Then he prepared a keen knife to slay his son a babe eighteen months old. Taking the child to the woods, he threw himself to the earth by it. Soon a dog began to sniff at his feet. Supposing that, like Abra ham's ram, the dog had been sent to take the place of the child, he waited for God to so command. Hearing no command, he slew the child. He was tried, but acquitted of murder, and has since lived an upright life. He has not since dared to read the Bible. Effect of Lightning. V lady in Madrid, Me., wno bad on her person a valuable gold watch was in a house last summer when it was struck by lightning. The watch stopped at the time, and, although jewelers have re peatedly examined it aud pronounced it perfect in every particular, it cannot be made to move. It is so charged with electricity that watchmakers say no part of it could ever be made to do duty if taken out and put into another set of works.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Nash ville " American" repeats the fol lowing story which was told by a Geor gian who witnessed the scene de scribed ; Georgia had a stringent plstol'law. The penalty is forfeiture of the pistol and a fine of $50, and, at the discretion of the court, imprisonment for 30 days. A short time after this law went Into effect Judge Lester waB holding court In one of the mountain counties of Geor gia, and right in the midst of the trial of a case, he asked the attorneys to sus pend a few moments and told the sheriff to lock the court house door and let no man pass out without permission from him. Then, said the judge, in a Arm, decided way : "Gentlemen, I saw a pistol on a man in this room a few minutes ago and I cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty as a peace officer to let such a violation of the law to pass unnoticed. It may be that it is my duty to go before the Grand Jury and indict him, but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay it and a fine of one dollar down here, I will let him off this time, otherwise I will go before, the Grand Jury and tes tify against him." The judge paused and an attorney who was sitting down before the stand, got up, slipped his hand in his hip pock et and drew out a neat ivory handed Smith & Wesson six-shooter and laid $1 down before the Judge. "That is all right," rema'rked the judge, " but you are not the man that I saw with the pistol." At this another attorney, sitting im mediately in front of the j udge, got up and, drawing out a small Colt's revol ver, laid it and a one dollar bill upon the stand. " This is right again," said the old judge, " but you are not the man I speak of." Thereupon a large man just, outside the bar walked around, ran his arm into his bosom and, drawing out a huge old army pistol, laid It and one dollar on the stand. " I declare," said the judge, " if this don't beat all ; you are right, my man, but you are not the person that I saw with the pistol." This process went on until nineteen pistols and $10 were lying on the judge's stand. Then there was a pause and it appeared as if the crowd were pretty well disarmed ; at least u tnere were any more pistols in the house their own ers did not seem disposed to give them up. "Gentlemen," resumed the judge, "here are nineteen persons who have acted like men in this business, but the man I saw with the pistol has not come up yet ; and now," he continued, pulling out his watch and looking toward the far side of the court house, " I will give him one minute to accept my proposi tion and if he does not do it in that time I will point him out to the sheriff and CALENDAR, given time within th presnt Century. 6 y J."'1 1 j . . 5 e J a J78BlJl24"7 1 1 4 el 1 8 6 "T J 1 1 "? 1 6 11 1 1 j6 1 86 ll 7ll e"e 2 4 1 2 1 1 1 1 j 8 S 6 1 I fll 6ll 4jl 7 2 njT flll i29iT7 77 77 .. 7?777?7? 3, 47267 8614 jjllll lil"ol 67 8 sl 80 J 11 4j6 1 3l ill 7 11 2j 8 6 1 4 1; 671 711 Hi 11 Ijl 6 6j 2 4 7 2 Ijl 11 1871: 1885: 18SU i75: isss: iisr iwfii iswi isi's ists: issfl: im im im: issij iswi: im ism: imi: iim 4. 5. 0. .7 1 Friday 1 Saturday 1 Sunday 1 2 8 4 2 Saturday 2 8unday Monday Sunday 8;Monday Tuesday Monday 4 Tuesday 4 5Wed'day 6 wed'd'y Tuesday Thu'sd'v 5 Wednesday (VThnrsdayfl Friday 0 Thursday 7 Frllay 7 Saturday 7 8 Saturday 88unday 8 0 Sunday Monday 9 10 Monday 10 Tuesday 10 11 Tuesday llWed'd'y 11 12 Wed'd'y 12 Thu'sdfjl3 13jThrs'd'yl3jFriday 18 141 Friday 14 8aturdayl4 15 8aturd'y 15,8unday 15 lOSunday lOJMondaylO 17j Monday 17iTuesday 17 18 Tuesday 18!Wed'd'y 18 Ml Wed'd'y 19 Thn.'sd'yiy 20,Thu'sd'y 20 Friday 20 21 Friday 21 BaturdaySl 22 8aturday22 Sunday 23 23 Sunday 23,Monday 23 24 Mouday 24 Tuesday 24 25 Tuesday 25 Wed'd'y 25 20 Wed'd'y aojThn'sd'jSO 27Thu'sd'y27iFrlday 27 28 Friday 28 8aturday28 29 8aturday29 Sunday 2!l 80 Sunday iSOj Monday 80 81 Monday 8lTnesday 81 Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and order him to take him into cus tody." Immediately two men from the back part of the house began to move toward the judge's stand. Once they stopped and looked at each other, and then com ing slowly forward, laid down their pis tols and their dollars. As they turned to leave, the judge said : " This man with the black whiskers is the only one that I saw with the pis tol." Then Judge Lester gave a short lec ture upon the cowardly, foolish and wicked habit of carrying concealed weapons, and assured his audience that in the future the- law would be strictly enforced. The court proceeded with its regular business, and it is needless to add that in that county the habit of car rying pistols was broken up. About Dreams. A very remarkable circumstance, and an important point of analogy, is to be found in the extreme rapidity with which the mental operations are per formed, or rather with which the mate rial changes on which the ideas depend are excited in hemlsporical gangalia. It would appear as if a whole series of acts, that would really occupy a long lapse of time, pass Ideally through the mind in one instant. We have in dreams no true perception of the lapse of time a strange property of mind I for if such be also its property when entered into the eter- nal, disembodied state, time will appear to us eternity. The relations of space as well as time are also annihilated, so that almost while an eternity is com pressed into a moment, infinite space is traversed more swiftly than by real thought. There are numerous illustra tions of this on record. A general dreamed that he enlisted as a soldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was ap prehended, carried back, tried, con demned to be shot, and at last led out to be killed. After the usual preparation, a gun was fired ; be awoke witn tbe re port, and found that a noise in the next tent had at the same moment pro ducd the dream and awakened him. A friend of Dr. Abercrombie dreamed he crossed the Atlantic and spent a for- night in America. In embarking, on his return, he fell into the sea,and awak iug in his fright found that he had not been in lied ten minutes. Haunted Me. Debt, poverty and suffering haunted me for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did no good. I was completely discouraged until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and com menced their use, and In one month we were all well, and none of us have been 6ick a day since ; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost.
